Site counter...

I have been blogging here since 2004, but I only got around to putting in a counter last March 7th. The counter sometimes dis-appears, then re-appears with no explanation. It just has the new count, as if to say, "What? I'm free. I will go on vacation whenever I want--for as long as I want". I really had little idea of what the count would be like. The web is a big place, the world has a lot of people in it... I write mostly for myself and it is hard to estimate how my style, such as it is, would change if I had a large audience. I suppose I will see, if and when I gain more of a following than the 4 friends and 3 relatives who (most likely) make up the bulk of my readership. dbp
